Post by ingg »

Went down today and helped him set them up. Poor silly man, thought I could scape worth a hill of beans!

Hopefully we did okay, what do you think?

Those are pretty good starts. I'd consider putting more plants in them to keep the algae away while they grow in.

Silly me!!

Will add plants as recommended. Also I'm slowly increasing the light - one bulb at 6 hours and second at 5 hours, weekly I will add 45 minutes to each until I'm at 9 and 10 hours. I already pulled the sponge filter from tank two - replaced it with a Rena XP2 ($66 with rebate coupon).

Off to a good start, Michael. I will look forward to seeing how they progress. Are you injecting any CO2? Will you be posting a list of the plants in the tanks?

No CO2 injection, waiting for Dave to figure out manifolds and then will look into centralized CO2 system for the fishroom. Currently using Excel 2ml/day and Marc Weiss "the Carbonator" 2ml/day and flourish 2ml/week (Sundays). I'll try a plant list; however, I'm sure to have blanks, will start now and post when I have it close. Second Rena arrived today from Big Als - $74.99 with free shipping. Hope to get a chance this weekend to swap out the Hagen.
